Dendrobium Exotic Foliage Horticole Lillustration Linden Lucien Orchid Stroobant Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Dendrobium hookerianum, also known as Dendrobium chrysotis, an exotic and tropical orchid species. Created by the skilled hand of Belgian botanical illustrator Lucien Stroobant for Jean Linden's Horticole Illustration in Brussels in 1873, this lithograph showcases the intricate beauty of this orchid in remarkable detail. The Dendrobium hookerianum is native to the humid forests of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Known for its distinctive long, arching canes and vibrant, golden-yellow labellum, this orchid is a true marvel of the botanical world. The foliage is depicted in rich, verdant tones, adding to the overall allure of this plant. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing color prints during the late 19th century, allowed for the intricate details and vibrant colors seen in this illustration. The process involved creating separate plates for each color and then combining them to create a full-color image. This technique allowed for a level of detail and accuracy that was unmatched by other printing methods of the time. The Dendrobium hookerianum is not only a visual treat but also holds cultural significance in various parts of the world. It is admired for its beauty and rarity, making it a sought-after addition to botanical collections and gardens. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the artistry of those who seek to capture its essence.
